An interesting look into a life, as I find most autobiography's to be. When you watched a person on TV your whole life and had your bedroom walls plastered with pictures of their husband it's easy to forget they are simply people.

DieAReader 🥳Fantastic! I l am obsessed❤️‍🔥with biographies & autobiographies, especially as audiobooks read by the author🤓🎧📚 There‘s just something so fascinating to me about listening to someone tell me their story🦸‍♀️🦸🏻‍♂️ about how they got to be where they are now. What shaped them into the human beings that they are. I‘ve read a few of Valerie‘s books over the years but somehow missed this one somehow🤦🏻‍♀️ Stacked📚 6mo
TheBookgeekFrau @DieAReader This is her first book. I want to read her others. She was my early-teen self's idol🤩 I love to hear about others journey through life, I learn so much! 6mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6mo

"Some people measure depression by the medication they take or the number of times per week they see a therapist."

Growing up in the anorexic/bulimic 70s/80s & moving into the “heroin chic” 80s/90s, it‘s a miracle I only hated my body a normal amount. I never dieted & that meant I could focus anxiety elsewhere—like not having Bertinelli‘s gorgeous hair. Also, I finished this plate of nachos, housework & this book.

I liked this memoir of Valerie Bertinelli's life and struggles with weight. I actually listened to the audiobook, narrated by the author. If you grew up in the 70's/80's and know those celebrities and tv shows, it's walk down memory lane. She is honest about her weight gain and if you have ever fought with the lbs, you will really enjoy her candor. A few f-bombs though, when she is fighting with her ex...
